Printed Dresses and Mango Yellow Balenciaga Envelope Clutch

Adding a big pop of colour to my printed dresses for Easter weekend back at the start of April, with my mango yellow Balenciaga envelope clutch.

What I wore:

Earrings: gold pendant chandelier earrings
Necklace: thrifted yellow beaded statement pendant long necklace
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: Novo Tawny rose gold sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga envelope clutch in 2012 mangue with giant 12 RGGH

Why I wore it:

Wore this for an early Easter lunch and egg hunt with my family down the coast. I wanted to be comfortable, so flat sandals and this amazing Jaase printed dress were perfect. I thought that the yellow necklace and mango Balenciaga envelope clutch, along with the statement gold earrings, made this a little more formal for Easter lunch. But still comfortable and practical for a day full of eating and egg hunting and playing in the back yard! We actually all ended up staying for dinner as well, we had so much fun! It was a really good day.


Last worn: Jaase autumn leaves print dress, yellow pendant necklace, gold chandelier earrings, rose gold sandals, Balenciaga mango envelope clutch.

Other ways to wear: Jaase autumn leaves print dress and boots, rose gold sandals and shorts, Balenciaga mango envelope clutch and maxi dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Balenciaga mango envelope clutch in third trimester.

What I wore:

Earrings: Colette silver filigree leaf diamante statement earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace 
Dress: Kmart red flora printed wrap dress
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga envelope clutch in 2012 mangue with giant 12 RGGH

Why I wore it:

Wore this to church on Easter Sunday. Unlike our family egg hunt, I wasn't going to be able to leave my clutch sitting as we ran round searching the garden for eggs. So I decided to take this little chain strap I bought on ebay last year to use with my MbMJ clutch, to turn this Balenciaga envelope clutch into a shoulder bag. It was pretty good for a quick hack, as you can see in the video. Even if the chain strap isn't centred in the bag I found it worked well enough for the morning and afternoon at church. And most importantly, it let me be hands free for the egg hunt with the kids, ha!

Although the Balenciaga envelope clutch has rose gold hardware, with the silver chain strap I felt silver accessories would be best so went with these statement silver leaf earrings and little silver Tiffany necklace.


Last worn: Kmart flora coral wrap dress, Tiffany necklace, silver leaf earrings, studded sandals, Balenciaga mango envelope clutch (above).

Other ways to wear: Kmart flora coral wrap dress at Christmas, studded sandals worn 30 ways, Balenciaga mango envelope clutch and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Balenciaga mango envelope clutch in third trimester.
